Stamp Rally

[retsuko]

So, as of May 1st, the postage rates will increase again. This is incredibly frustrating to me because I just bought a lovely set of 20 Tiffany stained glass stamps, and I'm still working on using up my 39 centers! I don't want to have to sort out the buying of 1-cent stamps. Ordinarily, it would take me about 6 months to work through the 20-stamp sheet. So, I propose that as many people as are interested and I exchange letters/recipes/interesting articles/funny cartoons/cards/notes/whatever strikes your fancy in an effort to use up our stamps. I know I've proposed stuff like this in the past and gotten very little interest back, and I know everyone's busy. So, I want to emphasize that there is no pressure to participate, and if you do participate, there is no pressure to exchange soul-baring, poignant letters that will be treasured for generations (although those are awesome, too). Just do what you can, but get rid of those stamps!

Who's with me?! *waves stamp rally flag about*

(I'm perfectly happy to exchange with overseas/Canadian folks as well, as the overseas postage will go up, too.)

EDIT: This doesn't just have to be for Valentine's Day, either. I won't get rid of all of these stamps for quite some time. (I just found half a sheet of Marvel superheroes!) So I'm hoping to extend this through March/April.
